The statement says Mexico would never have allowed arms to enter the country as part of the operation under which U.S. agents permitted the purchase of weapons to build more sweeping criminal cases.

Reporting from Mexico City —

Mexican authorities say they were aware of the U.S. anti-gun operation that allowed smugglers to buy weapons under the watch of agents in the United States, but that they had no idea that the program allowed weapons to be smuggled into Mexico.

Beware the “but” it makes everything that goes before not operative.

In a statement issued late Thursday, Mexico’s federal attorney general’s office said Mexican officials were advised of operations north of the border against suspected traffickers. But the Mexican agency said it “had no knowledge of the existence of an operation that might include the transgression or controlled trafficking of arms to Mexican territory.”

The attorney general’s statement said Mexico would never have given permission for weapons to enter the country as part of Operation Fast and Furious, under which U.S. agents permitted the purchase of weapons to build more sweeping criminal cases against crime bosses.

“The government of Mexico has not given nor will it give its authorization, tacit or express, under any circumstance, for that to occur,” the agency said in the most extensive comments the government has offered on the matter so far.

Long story short, the U.S. BATFE project gunwalker was allowing guns to be used in Mexico to kill, maim Mexicans all for a bureaucracy to try and destroy the US Second Amendment … that failed so miserably during the Greta and Hillary show.

And then comes Obama’s push for “sensible gun laws”. According to who? Surely no one trust Obama to do anything that is reasonable and fair to armed free people. All you need do is look at how Obamacare is working out to know that.

I think that this sort of stuff, shipping weapons to known criminals and drug gangs, even if it is for a good liberal cause, destroying the Second Amendment, is a cause for war … What would you call it — Giving guns to drug cartels to shoot up your country.

“Ricardo Monreal, coordinator of the PT, will present a point of agreement to request the extradition of U.S. agents who executed the program,” the sub-head explains.

“Moreover, the point intended to encourage the federal Executive to request the extradition of U.S. agents who executed the program, for having committed the crime of trafficking in arms against the Mexican government, as well as those responsible for crimes likely,” the rough Google translation continues.

Looks to me that after the failed attempt by Hillary and Greta to try and gin up a fake story illegal gun story as the basis for Obama’s gun control plan, things have now gone badly off track. Shades of the Clinton debacle at the Branch Davidian’s compound and unwarranted death of the occupants.

While the pace has slowed from the past two years, guns continue to sell at a robust clip even as consumer spending overall remains flat, retailers and industry experts say. “Firearms sales have been at a fever pitch,” said Brian Rafn, a portfolio manager at Milwaukee based Morgan Dempsey Capital Management. “It’s at peak and it’s staying at peak.” Among the investment company’s holdings is firearms manufacturer Sturm Ruger & Co.

The FBI released its 2009 report on Crime in the United States, showing that murder declined 7.3 percent, robberies fell 8 percent, aggravated assault dropped by 4.2 percent and forcible rape has declined 2.6 percent. Meanwhile, the National Shooting Sports Foundation notes that gun sales in 2009 were up dramatically.

“What the data tells us is exactly the opposite of what the gun ban lobby has predicted for several years,” said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb. “Their dire predictions that America’s streets would run red have been shown up as a fraudulent sales pitch for public disarmament.

“No matter how gun prohibitionists try to spin this,” he continued, “the bottom line is that they have been consistently and demonstrably wrong, and they know it.”

“On the other hand, gun rights organizations have been consistently right when we argued that increased gun ownership would not lead to higher crime rates, and might even have a deterrent effect, because even property crimes are down, according to this year’s report.”

As usual, the liberals were dead wrong on all counts. One thing to consider, most of the gun sales in 2009 were semi-automatic pistols and other assault weapons … And still the crime went down. Who knew.

Sudden, unexpected action, by the Obama Regime. — After starting the process, to ban lead ammo and fishing weights, just a few days ago, issuing a comment period report with all the supporting crap, including fake studies — On Friday the EPA scrapped the whole thing and issued a statement. When even one news agency will not go along, tyranny retreats to the shadows.

What happened? Simple a news agency reported on the process and informed people. It’s not because banning ammo is against federal law, it’s because they were outed …

The Environmental Protection Agency has denied a petition filed by environmental activists seeking to ban lead in ammunition and fishing tackle, saying such regulation is beyond the agency’s authority.

The agency’s decision, announced Friday shortly after FoxNews.com published its report on the issue, sided with hunters and fishermen who had argued that the such regulations weren’t allowed under the Toxic Substances Control Act of 1976.

“EPA is taking action on many fronts to address major sources of lead in our society, such as eliminating childhood exposures to lead,” the agency said in a written statement. “However, EPA was not and is not considering taking action on whether the lead content in hunting ammunition poses an undue threat to wildlife.”

A coalition of conservation groups had filed its petition earlier this month arguing that the use of lead in ammo and tackle is poisoning the nation’s lakes, ponds and forests and asking the EPA to ban the “manufacture, processing and distribution” of lead shot, bullets and fishing.

Ask yourself what would have happened different in Venezuela, if the news media had actually reported openly on Hugo Chavez and his desires for a Communist paradise?

And then contrast that to the total dereliction of duty the press is perpetrating in the USA.

Today — Environmental activists are pressing the Obama administration to ban the manufacture, processing and distribution lead shot, bullets, and fishing sinkers — But under the Toxic Substances Control Act of 1976, but hunting and Second Amendment groups say the EPA lacks the authority to do so, for starters.

Since ammunition is specifically exempted from the Toxic Substances Act of 1976, legislation would have to be passed in order to allow the EPA to “ban” lead-based products. So are the EPA saying they can’t read the law, or they saying they don’t care what the law says. Sounds like the Imam Obama is going rogue on America …
